Since their formation in 1991, STRIFE has been a driving force in the hardcore scene. Their debut LP, One Truth, was a breakout success, and their sophomore effort, In This Defiance, cemented their reputation as one of the most aggressive and influential hardcore bands of their time. Featuring guest appearances from the likes of Chino Moreno (DEFTONES), Iggor Cavalera (SEPULTURA), and Dino Cazares (FEAR FACTORY), In This Defiance bridged the gap between hardcore and metal and set a new standard for heavy music. With their third LP, Angermeans, STRIFE took a bold step in a new direction, experimenting with sounds and styles outside the typical constraints of their genre. In 2012, STRIFE returned to the studio with a vengeance to record their fourth studio album, Witness a Rebirth. With producer Nick Jett at the helm, STRIFE recruited friend and previous collaborator Iggor Cavalera to perform drums for the album. Witness a Rebirth saw the band's return to form, and the album was met with high praises from both their fans and the press. Now, on the 10th anniversary of the album's release, WAR Records is proud to announce a brand new reissue of Witness a Rebirth. Newly remastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege and featuring brand new artwork by Jeremy Dean, this reissue breathes new life into an already iconic album. With an exceptional live show and positive energy, STRIFE is still actively touring and playing spot dates and festivals across the world. Whether you've been a fan since their early days or just discovering them for the first time, Witness a Rebirth is a must- have for any hardcore enthusiast.
